Amazon CamperForce: Your Next Adventure

RVers are known for their enthusiasm, always looking for their next destination and exciting experience. For RVers, then, Campbellsville, Ky., Coffeyville, Kan., and Fernley, Nev., might not be the first towns that come to mind when thinking about that next adventure. But adventure is exactly what online retail giant Amazon is offering.

The Amazon CamperForce program brings together energetic RVers who help fulfill holiday orders during the busy fall and winter seasons. RVers begin their seasonal assignments in early fall and work until Dec. 23 in one of Amazon’s fast-paced fulfillment centers in Campbellsville, Coffeyville or Fernley. And not only are RVers paid for their work (average pay is $10/hour), but Amazon also pays for the campsites — and provides a season completion bonus, referral bonuses and an Amazon employee discount.

Some RVers need a paycheck to keep traveling; others may simply want to supplement their income or afford a few nights at a nice RV resort. But what all workers get out of the CamperForce program is the chance to make lifelong friends.
